Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Amazing holiday, fantastic diving, knowledgeable crew, comfortable boat. 1 Marine life and corals in south Komodo are outstanding! 2 Amazing above water scenery and land excursions 3 Awesome crew doing their best and meeting interesting people”
Recommended for: We sailed in November during full moon and experience ever changing currents and otherwise perfect weather.Dive site on south and central route present reefs full of marine life from macro to mantas and sharks. Dive guides Wayan and Paldy were helpful spotting rare camouflaged critters we would never see without their eagle eyes! Nusatara is as advertised, older but reasonably equipped and maintained, everything is in working order .Comfortable cabins with AC and private en-suite. Crew is attentive and helpful, good food with something for everyone. Land excursions to Rinca Island is added bonus on last day of the trip.Truly memorable trip.
